Interconnected claw post

Abstract

This interconnected claw post is made so each piece can be replaced. The cat owner now has options to choose a carpet color and thickness they may want to, use to replace carpet on the base, vertical tube or platform that needs replacing on the interconnected claw post. Carpet that covers the interconnected claw post's vertical piece can also be used to cover worn carpet on a vertical piece of a different manufactured claw post or cover a worn vertical section on a cat tree, thereby preserving the functionality of different manufactured claw posts. The consumer can now enjoy options and save money.

1 . This cat clawing apparatus is comprised of six (6) independent, interconnected and replaceable pieces; whereby the first on piece is named the base which lays flat on the floor and employs a coupler that is attached to its upper surface; near its center area, connecting to a second (2 nd ) piece named the post, which can be a solid material or hollow tubing, having two ends, where either end can connect to the base coupler to support the post in an upright manner, where its longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the base plane, for so named post's upper edge connects to another coupler that is to and supports a third (3 rd ) piece namely a platform, which can be manually rotated slowly in 360 degrees about its horizontal axis while a fourth (4 th ) piece known as the pocket carpet of fibrous matted material, covers the platform for one or multiple cats to rest on, play on, or claws the carpeted area and so named pocket carpet is created by folding carpet in half, so the upper and lower surfaces lay on each other to show six outer edges; whereby four (4) are sealed to become two side seams, while two other outer edges remain unsealed, thereby producing an open area or air pocket between the two side seams which determines the front area of pocket carpet which easily slides onto and covers the platform and when its top surface needs replacing, slide the entire pocket carpet off, turn it over, so bottom surface becomes the new top surface and slide the pocket carpet back on as a fifth (5) replaceable piece namely a base carpet, covers the base, for one or more cats to rest on, play on or claw at and for the base carpet to lay flat on the base, it's center area has a circular opening for the post to access the base coupler and such opening has an edge that leads to a separation of material or open seam which extends outward towards the carpets very outer edge to facilitate carpet removal from the base, from around its coupler and from around the post as the sixth (6 th ) piece named the carpet tube; a matted fibrous material, covers the post for clawing and so named carpet is formed into a hollow tube, where its end-edges meet, Velcro strips are affixed onto and along the end-edges to close hollow tube, whereby tube slides onto post or if the tube is already closed, its two end-edges can be separated and wrap the material around the post, then reconnect its end-edges to close hollow tube around the post. 
     
     
         2 . The cat clawing apparatus of  claim 1  whereby the carpet tube can renew a different manufactured claw post by covering over its worn-out carpeted post. 
     
     
         3 . The cat clawing apparatus of  claim 2  whereby the carpet tube can open and wrap around a worn-out vertical section of carpet on a cat tree, thereby renewing its functionality.
